This year Ally did not attend the same art based camp she had for the past 3 years. She told back in January when we had to make camp plans that she didn't want to go. She asked to go to camp and "help people" and literally made me google volunteer camps. But they don't have camps like that for 9 year olds. Instead we signed her up for 1 week of Aquarium camp, 2 weeks of farm camp and 1 week of Mama Camp (where mama would do volunteer based things with her each day).
Week one of camps was at the aquarium.
Ally spent the last night of camp at the Aquarium. She had a sleepover there! She slept in her sleeping bag right near the jellyfish and turtle rescue area!
One day she saw her classmate Daniela from school and her sister Nina at the Aquarium!
Making toys for the seals.
Learning about how the seals are cared for and what they eat.
It was a behind the scenes tour where the campers really hot a sense of how the inner workings of the aquarium smell!
But they also got to meet a seal!
And one day they took a whale watch.
Ally is above in the chair on the left and below in the pink hat and blue long sleeve shirt.
They saw 13 whales!!!
It was a great experience for Ally and we look forward to having her attend again next year.
